How to find comfort when suffering from arthritis?

My mother has arthritis in both knees. Her cartilage has worn out and now she suffers from severe pain in both of her knees. She is already taking prescription medications for it which don't seem to help. She took shots in both of her knees to help with the pain but after a few months it wears off.
If you are suffering from very bad arthritis and you get relief somehow, please do share with me how you get relief.

She needs referral to an orthopaedic surgeon who will assess her pain and the arthritic damage to her knees. She may need joint replacements or keyhole surgery. Sometimes steroid injections help but they often wear off. A physiotherapist will teach her exercises that may help – swimming is a good way of keeping your joints supple. Also see:
